What Wang Bi couldn't imagine was that at this time, the dehuo red outside the city was actually very anxious.

On the first day of the siege of the city, almost as soon as the siege began, he received an urgent letter from the rear scouts.

Xu Da, who was stationed in Shuntian, did not rush to the aid of Taiyuan as he expected, but directly took 60,000 troops to divide into two roads and went straight to Helin!

Siege Wei to save Zhao! I forgot that the Han people still have such an art of war!

"Prime Minister, is it really okay not to go back to your majesty? What if Xu Da attacks my Dayuan Sect Temple......" Aza asked next to the red horse.

“…… Anyway. He gritted his teeth and laughed twice freely. I had expected this, but the grasslands were vast, and His Majesty's tent was paraded to the north. Xu Da is only tens of thousands of people, and he may not be able to find any trace of His Majesty. ”

"When I capture the son of the Ming Emperor, it doesn't hurt to return to the grassland."

Although the Yuan Lord Aiyu Zhi Li Dala temporarily lived in Helin after fleeing from the capital, the conditions of Helin were poor, and the Yuan Lord did not stay in Helin from time to time.

When Dehuo Chi left this time, Aiyu knew Ridhara and went on a tour to the north. may just be able to avoid Xu Dabing's front. Even if you can't hide it, you can delay it for a time or two.

There is another reason why he can't withdraw his troops, which is that he is not prestigious enough after all...... As we all know, the system on the steppe is, after all, a loose tribal federation. In the past, when the Great Yuan ruled the Central Plains, it was okay to be able to give orders in the name of the Son of Heaven, and few tribes dared to disobey orders.

But now that the emperor has been beaten in the north hunt, the dominance of the Great Yuan has already plummeted. Although he is nominally a prime minister, he is far from having the prestige of the former King Baobao, the king of Qi. Being able to coordinate the heads of the major tribes to fight together is more because the major tribes themselves are not having a good time, and they urgently need to enrich their pockets by entering the customs and looting.

If he turns around and returns to his division without gaining anything, his prestige as a prime minister will be lost in an instant, and he will no longer be able to monopolize power again.

For the sake of power, he must also capture Taiyuan and win at least one victory for Dayuan. This is also the reason why he fought hard to attack the city as soon as he came up.

"One day...... One day, I will take Taiyuan. Dehuo Chi said proudly. His words are not all groundless, there are only tens of thousands of defenders in Taiyuan City, even if the King of the Ming and Jin Dynasty levies Ding Zhuang in the city, it will definitely not exceed 30,000 in a short time.

And he now has 180,000 under his command, even if he uses his life to pile up, he can also pile up Taiyuan City. Taiyuan was rich, took Taiyuan, captured the son of the Ming Emperor, and he could return to the division and the royal court to attack Xu Da.

"Our army has repaired the return artillery, and it will attack the city overnight tonight! I personally led the men to storm the north gate. ”

"If you don't capture Taiyuan, you won't return to the division!"

His eyes were already red.

While scolding the generals to light torches, he began to prepare for the night attack on Taiyuan. Aza lost his time and quietly retreated, and Boyan followed him.

Just now, Boyan also heard the wild words of the dehuo red. Seeing that he was far away from the Chinese army's tent at this time, Aza asked Boyan: "Boyan, Dehuochi has fallen into madness, if he is desperate, I am afraid that this Taiyuan City will really be able to go down." ”

"What do you think we should do now? Do you continue to watch from the wall, or participate in the siege and capture Taiyuan together? ”

"If you don't participate in the siege, after the city is broken, the goods in the city will definitely ......"

"King!" Boyan solemnly interrupted Azari.

"The king has also seen the king of Wu of the Ming Dynasty...... The king thinks that King Wu's elder brother, King Jin, really only has such ability? ”

"However, the number of our Yuan army is more than ten times that of Taiyuan City......"

"Can a battle be won if there are many people?" Boyan said. "In the past, our ancestors started from the grassland, and we don't know how many tough battles we have fought to win more with less!"

"Since the king is determined to help the Ming Dynasty, he must not be at both ends. When the wind blows, it falls that is fragile pasture, and I can't make pasture grass in Shanyang Wanhu, but want to be a bright and clear lake on the grassland. ”

"Moreover, doesn't the king think that there is something strange about Daming......"

"Strange place?" Aza was stunned.

"Yes." Boyan nodded. "Your Majesty, you have also seen the terrible firearm used by that King of Wu."

"Even the warriors of my Shanyang Ten Thousand Households, in the face of those firearms, will suffer huge losses."

"If such a sharp weapon is used to defend the city, it must be twice the result with half the effort. However, in Taiyuan City, that kind of firearm has never been used until now. ”

"I heard that Taiyuan is an important town for the defense of the Ming Dynasty, and it is impossible that there are no firearms in the city...... But Da Ming has been hiding firearms and not using them, why do you think it is, King? ”

"You mean...... "Aza felt his heart skip a beat." Taiyuan City ...... Still left behind for the counteroffensive? ”

"But the defenders in the city are clearly only more than 10,000 people, and the city is surrounded by the Red Prime Minister of the Fire Detachment, how else can they ......?"

At this, Azazuri froze. He looked in surprise in the direction where the Taiyuan City Wall was located, and his voice trembled because of the transcendent things in front of him.

"That'...... What is that? ”

……

"Immortal God!"

In the Yuan military camp, the lights are bright. Because of the order to prepare for a night battle, most of the Yuan soldiers lit torches, illuminated the place as bright as day, and prepared to attack the Ming army in the city at night.

However, before they could attack, they suddenly found that many round behemoths suddenly floated on the walls of the Ming army. These behemoths were huge, but they had the ability to fly, and they swayed from the city into the sky.

"What are those? Flying balls? ”

"Is it a trick of the Ming army? That's why ......"

"Isn't it the magic of the Ming army?"

The Yuan soldiers looked at this unimaginable scene in a daze, and some superstitious Yuan people even knelt down directly to worship this big ball that could fly in the sky. Dehuo Chi also looked at these things in a daze at first, until he found that these big balls were floating towards the Yuan army camp, and suddenly the alarm bell sounded in his heart. "Come on, shoot! Shoot those big balls! ”

I don't know what it is, but it's all over after I hit it.

The Yuan army began to draw their bows and arrows, and countless arrows poured towards these large balls in the sky. However, it was the south wind blowing today, and the leeward of the Yuan army did not say that these big balls flew so high that the arrows could not reach them.

Dehuochi kept squinting at these big balls, and when the big balls gradually flew closer, he found that there was actually a basket tied under the big balls, and there was even a figure looming inside. He couldn't help but feel like a ghost: "Shoot!" Get back the cannon shot! ”

"Quick! These things can't be allowed near our army! ”

The catapult immediately began to reorient, and then a cannonball of stone was fired at the balls. However, these ancient catapults were not very accurate, let alone used to hit these hot air balloons flying in the air. A few stone bullets slashed through with a screech of breaking wind, but the "big balls" were intact.

The cannon fights mosquitoes, nothing more than yes.

"This ...... What the hell is this ......" The alarm bell in the heart of the fire is getting louder and louder.

"Arrive at the intended place...... Bombing! ”

As the Ming military flag on the hot air balloon was unfurled, countless black grenades were poured down from the hot air balloon. The Yuan soldiers were still stunned to see what was dropped in the sky, but in the next moment, they were blown into minced meat with a "boom". The dense camp of the Yuan army suddenly turned into a hell of gunpowder and flesh, and the long-lasting sound of "boom, boom, boom" made these warriors on the grassland instantly turn into a sea of corpses and blood.

"Yes, it went well." Zhu Li, who was on the city tower, took down the telescope in his hand. In the face of the bombing of hot air balloons, the panicked Yuan army has even begun to trample on itself. In this battle, he has already won by himself.

The strength of one to eighteen, but in the face of the generation difference in weapons, it is still not worth mentioning. That's science...... No, this is the power of Da Ming today.

Originally, due to the limitations of productivity, these hot air balloons were far from being able to fully assemble the Ming army...... But unfortunately, this group of Yuan people actually chose to attack Taiyuan.

There are many mines around Taiyuan; Taiyuan is also rich in population in the north; Taiyuan has accessible roads and many industries.

Zhu Li was willing to leave Beijing to study and come to Taiyuan, and it was precisely because of these points in Taiyuan that he took a fancy to them.

Taiyuan happens to be the latest arsenal of the Ming Dynasty that Lao Zhu chose to manufacture new weapons.

And Zhu Li is the vassal king who specializes in supervising the manufacture of these new weapons.

"Come to attack Taiyuan, since you are here, you don't have to leave."

"You guys are just kicking the iron plate!"

Zhu Li's Gujing Wubo's face finally flashed with a happy smile.
